MasterCard, the tournament sponsor for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, will donate $150,000 to the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies if one of the pros it sponsors wins at Bay Hill. That includes Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter, Brandt Snedeker, Camilo Villegas, Harris English and Boo Weekley.

Also, fans can help contribute $50,000 to the hospitals by tweeting one of those players’ names on Twitter with the hashtag Donate4 followed by the player’s first name.

For example, #Donate4Brandt for Brandt Snedeker.

The player with the most support before the 36-hole cut on Friday will have the $50,000 donated to the hospitals.

Watching juniors, amateurs and professionals play golf is a lot easier than shooting in the 70s.
